There's a new Groo comic out — Gods Against Groo #1, the first issue in a four-issue mini-series. Sergio and I are hard at work on the next Groo mini-series and a few other interesting (I hope) projects.
In the meantime, Amazon seems to have an ample supply of the new Pogo book and people all over are writing to tell me they've received theirs. You can order it here or you can order it and the previous volume in a neat slipcase here.
I'm not following a lot of news but I was interested in the article by Fred Kaplan about Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington and his speech to Congress.
Also of note is this article headlined "Sean Hannity admits under oath he 'didn't believe' Trump election lies — but aired them anyway." Fox News has never been about telling you what's going on. It's been about telling a certain segment of the population what they want to believe is so.
The other day here, I ran a photo of myself as a small child with a department store Santa. For some reason, folks are writing to me trying to guess what department store it was. I don't remember so I don't see why you think you can figure it out. The main department stores my family frequented back then were Robinson's, Bullock's and The May Company. It was probably but not definitely one of those.
Also, a couple of people think for some reason that the Santa must have been some later-famous actor back in the "have-to-do-this-to-pay-the-rent" part of his life, and they're making guesses as to who he might be. Good luck with that.
I heard from a lot of people who remember Mission Paks fondly — the commercials, not the actual Mission Paks. Many told me about George C. Page, a local businessman and philanthropist who founded the Mission Pak company. His name adorns many buildings here in Los Angeles including The George C. Page Museum which is part of the La Brea Tar Pits complex. So his name will live on as long as the Mission Pak jingle reverberates in all our heads.
More stuff later.
